I went out with this chick. Technically it was a first date, but we've seen and talked to each other so much over the past month it didn't seem like it. I got her number about three days after meeting her back in February. I asked her out a week later, and she gave me an obvious no answer worded in such a way as to not come out and say no. So, we've been talking and talking and I finally asked her out again last week, and here we are.
Next week we're going to drive to Orlando, see a Cirque du Soleil show at 6, then go to dinner after. She's 6 years older than me (new for me, I'll be 34 this year, and I've never even dated someone over 30 before,) but she's very attractive both physically and otherwise, and my friend and I thought she was my age at first. She's never been married and has no kids, so that jives with me pretty well. I don't think I'd go out with a 39 year old who had, like, kids in college or something. She's from France and speaks 4 languages fluently and a couple of others conversationally. Really cool life story, lived all over the place. Way more interesting than me, which is kind of intimidating. Shit, she's lived in and been to more places in the United States than I have, and I'm American. So, while she talks about having these cool jobs in France, New York, and California, I get to talk about how I've lived in Florida for almost all of my life, and worked at the same job for the past ten years. We've got a number of things in common, so it balances out.
She's really nice, pays attention, remembers things and asks questions about them later, she tells me some personal things, and so forth. I.E., she definitely shows interest. At the same time she seems guarded and gives mixed-ish signals about some things. I can't figure out if she's testing me or what. I can only imagine at 39, and never having been married, she's probably went through at least some shit, and time is ticking, so she wants to make sure anyone she's dating at this point in time is worth a shit. But what the fuck do I know. Some people would say I'm nuts for dating someone 6.5 years older than me at my age, at least one person already has. I don't see the big deal, though, ultimately. She's quite fetching to me.
for an hour). Sat on I90 for another 1.5 hours until exit 24. Discussion of many literary topics, little walk down Newbury to see how the other half shops, then crash in the hotel until about 9 p.m....at which point we hit the hotel bar for overpriced drinks.
